SOLD OUT

Golden Kaan Private Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Dark, ripe and intense with a firm tannic backbone and plenty of black-berry, plum and spicy currant flavours, picking up cedary spice, oak and tobacco notes. Complex and concentrated, but still a bit reined-in.

Definitely red meat, preferably roast beef, well-hung game, goose or duck. Mature cheddar cheese too.
